NEW YORK, NY - MAY 22: Construction workers and union members hold a rally in Columbus Circle, May 22, 2018 in New York City. On Monday, the Supreme Court delivered a 5-4 ruling stating that companies can use arbitration clauses in employee contracts to prohibit them from filing class-action lawsuits concerning workplace issues. Unions and workers' rights advocates are also awaiting an expected June ruling by the Supreme Court in the Janus v. AFSCME case, which could give government workers nationwide the choice of opting out of paying union fees even if they benefit from the union's contract negotiations.(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
